LETMD1: Proteins and Enzymes

LETMD1, also known as LETM1 domain-containing protein 1, is a protein with 7 isoforms ranging from 99 amino acid and 11 kDa to 373 amino acid and 43 kDa; localizes in mitochondrion outer membrane; commonly found in kidney, liver, skeletal muscle, heart and brain; has a potential role in tumor genesis, which may result from negative regulation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene. Studies are being performed in relation to this protein and wolf-Hirsch horn syndrome, cervical cancer, cervicitis, breast cancer, leukemia/lymphoma, polyposis, pancreatic cancer, obesity, pancreatitis, leukemia, and carcinoma. This protein has been shown to interact with REEP5 protein.
